With today being St. Patrick's Day eve, the colour challenge this week is PINCH ME, aka: adding green to your card or project.

My St. Patrick's Day collection is comprised of a teensy weensy, yet very cute, shamrock die. I didn't have a clue how to showcase it well (I suppose I could have die cut 25 out of foil paper and tried a shaker card...*could have* being the operative term); instead, I infused green into my cards in other ways.

Miss CI dont know where are youI have never seen you again on my BlogOnly hope you are healthy and happy thereits more important...Clever way to use STAMPlorations/ARTplorations on your first card...great add of that butterfly the second card so sweet that splatter on that colorsadorable card as always and I MISS YOU MISS Chugs,Monika

Haha- I got a good chuckle out of "could have being the operative word". Quite genius of you to shy away from that!! And your stenciled background is loverly!!! I also like the splotchy goodness of the second card. Happy is for sure! Oh, and I suppose I can leave a little thank you for playing along at STAMPlorations, too. :)

Oh I love that wonderful stenciling technique, and the stark white against the green is gorgeous. The middle of the butterfly really pops too. Love the splotchy Happy Birthday card and the pastels. All springy. I am so ready!

I was already in love with that leaf stencil but your gorgeous sponged card with the delicate butterfly and the word die really made me swoon! And the splotchy birthday card is a lot of fun! Always love that technique!Have a great week!

Wowza! Two fabulous cards! I LOVE the background on the green one! That is so pretty! And I would much rather get a St. Patricks Day card with a butterfly than a shamrock! heheh! I don't have much in the way of St. Patty's day either. The second card is just super fun with those ink splotches! So cute!! (Hugs) and happy week! :)

I love both cards Carol, the leaves technique is just beautiful and really tricks the eye with the look of depth to it. Love that butterfly and the word die. Your second card is just as amazing and one that I've been wanting to try. Hugs, Brenda

The leaf stencil is fantastic Carol! You nailed the technique. It has so much dimension. I love the cutaways, I got the digital ones and need to cut some out with my Silhouette. The splatter is so cool!

Oh your version of Jennifer's technique is quite stunning, Ms Carol! I like your take on this card for sure. How could I not, you used a beautiful butterfly! I like the fun and happy splotchy card, too. :)

Love the off set color on that fab leaf stencil!!! Gives it so much dimension. And that ink splotch is one of my favorite N&T stamps. So coll, how you incorporated it into the die cut! Great to see you playing at all my favorite challenges!

Wait a second - that green paper is sponged not embossed??? - it looks so cool and I thought at first glance that it had been done using an embossing folder - YOUR SPONGING IS REMARKABLE!!!!! That card would be welcome anytime of the year not just on "green" day - it is a beautiful and lovely beyond words card!!! And your second one is happy, bright, and oh, so perfect for celebrating the HAPPY birthday of someone you love!! Perfect work on that one - it is cooler than cool and I am just so impressed with you and your gorgeous work!!! Have a most AWESOME day!!! Hugs to you!!!

Congrats on your Guest DT spot, Carol! I'm so sorry for my late visit...I am in awe of your first card! You did an amazing job with Jennifer's technique and the tone-on-tone green is stunning! Love the splatters on your 2nd card, too! Your alphas look fabulous with all those great colors! It's always fun to visit your blog ~ Hugs!
